NFL Preseason Week 2 Picks: Bengals vs. Bears

Bengals vs. Bears

The Bengals are coming off a Preseason Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. Head coach Zac Taylor has not come out and said Joe Burrow and the first unit will play, but he hasn't ruled it out. Burrow and the starters got one series, and if they were to start, expect the same amount of playing time. There are still some position battles to watch out for, specifically at running back. Chase Brown is trying to establish himself as the RB1 with Joe Mixon gone, but they did sign veteran Zack Moss. The Bears have a chance to go 3-0 at the start of the preseason as they beat Houston in the Hall of Fame Game, then a 27-point beatdown of the Bills. We saw Caleb Williams’ debut last week, and he and the starters got two series. With a rookie quarterback trying to get game-time experience with his crew, you could see the same amount of playing time or even an entire quarter. The Bengals are only 3-10 in preseason games under Taylor, and Chicago could emphasize playing their starters with a few new pieces.

Pick: Bears -6 (-110)
